    Tire marks on armorpoxy flooring

    Hey all, I coated my garage floor in oct 2017 with armorpoxy. I primed, epoxy, and then clear coated. Let dry for 1 week before driving on. I've been dealing with these dirt / tire marks that won't go away for about 2 of the 31/2 years it's been coated. I clean the floor very regularly...

    Please school me on carpet

    I enjoy My carpet. I've had carpet, laminate, and hard wood. In order I prefer carpet, hardwood, and laminate. The reason I like carpet is with young children I think it more comfortable to be on the floor to play. The key with carpet is to vaccum it regularly and have it cleaned...

    Epoxy Peeling Off Floor

    I'd tell them i either want my money back or for them to do the job you paid them to do initially. $1500 more for a product they should have quoted you for in the first place. forget that. they don't know what they are doing, get your money back and move on.

    Armorpoxy is down, pictures, and my thoughts

    I picked up a couple, what I call Kool aide pitchers (2.5 at pitchets) at the dollar store. Pitchers were labeled on the sides. So I split into quarters, 2 quarts to 1 quart ratio. I used cups to dip in the buckets and dish out into the pitchers.

And couple spots where i go the flakes a bit too thick. Picture doesn't show but my OCD self noticed them..lol. Including prep time, which I...

    Armorpoxy is down, pictures, and my thoughts

    Thanks to the folks here over the past couple weeks who answered my questions regarding putting down my armorpoxy. Thought I'd share some pictures of the nearly finished job. These photos were taken before the top coat was put on. Turned out very well I think. Have some slight opinions...

    containers for measuring 2 to 1 epoxy ratio.. what did you use?

    I'm drawing a huge blank here on what to use tomorrow when i apply my armorpoxy. Obviiously its best to do smaller batches so it doesn't harden on you. What did you use to measure out the 2 to 1 ratio when you put your epoxy down?
